Alabama Soccer Coach Indicted on Child Sex Abuse Charges

David Barrow and Kristian Griffin (Madison County jail)

A Madison County grand jury has indicted a former volunteer soccer coach at Guntersville High School on charges stemming from his taking naked photos of small children and having sexual contact with his victims. 

David Jacob Barrow, 58, was indicted earlier this month on three counts each of human trafficking and sex abuse of a child under the age of 12. He was also indicted on a single count of sodomy. 

His co-defendant in the case, 29-year-old Kristian Danette Griffin, was indicted on three counts of human trafficking and two counts of conspiracy to commit sex abuse of a child under the age of 12.

Barrow was first arrested last May at John Hunt Park, where his team had competed in a state soccer tournament. The criminal complaint against him alleged that he made naked pictures of a young girl and touched her chest and genitals. 

Barrow also allegedly paid to have two young girls brought to a home on Craigmont Drive in Huntsville, less than half a mile from Chaffee Elementary School, for similar purposes.

Griffin is charged for reportedly agreeing to bring victims to Barrow. 

Barrow is currently in jail in Marshall County, where he is also charged with 24 counts of producing obscene material, possession of obscene material, possession with the intent to distribute obscene material and aggravated criminal surveillance. His bond is set at $2.5 million.

He was arrested on those charges in July after investigators found still images and videos in his home of children in various states of undress.

So, I'm okay with putting this demented pervert away for the rest of his miserable life.
